Longitudinal Changes of Solute Transport in Peritonitis‐free Peritoneal Dialysis Patients

Abstract

This study shows a tendency toward progressive decline in small molecular transport over time in nondiabetic patients with uneventful CAPD therapy. Sequential PET follow-up cannot be overlooked in peritonitis-free CAPD patients.

Changes of Peritoneal Transport Parameters with Time on Dialysis: Assessment with Sequential Peritoneal Equilibration Test

“…The assessment of changes in transport patterns with time on dialysis in patients on (PD) can be performed using raw clinical data, as 24-hour effluent dialysis fluid collection or transport tests, such as peritoneal equilibration test, PET, miniPET and others (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12). A better insight into the transport mechanisms may be obtained by combining these tests with of small solute transport such as urea, creatinine and glucose, because of the importance of its mass balance in PD (25,26).…”

Artificial Organs 2004: A Year in Review

“…The reciprocal relationship between uric acid and PONI may reflect a mechanism that protects erythrocytes from subsequent oxidative stress. Shih‐Yuan Hung et al (120) of I‐Shou University and Fooyin University (Kaohsiung, Taiwan) evaluated the longitudinal changes in peritoneal transport in patients on long‐term, peritonitis‐free, continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) therapy. They showed a tendency toward progressive decline in small molecular transport over time in nondiabetic patients with uneventful CAPD therapy.…”
